“Are you going to trust the man who betrayed you again? Illina. Are you trusting people? Have you forgotten being abandoned after trusting? Once a person is betrayed, they should never trust twice. Even if it’s your parents, you should never trust them.”
Lorencia whispered into Illina’s pale white ear. Then she glanced at Illina’s fading green eyes.
“I told you just now. Doubt people, and doubt them again. Illina, who believes in love this much, seems so naive. How could you cruelly kill so many animals with such naivety?”
Tears began to flow down Illina’s pale white cheeks.
“Are you crying? You’re not the one who should be crying.”
Lorencia gently wiped the tears flowing down Illina’s cheeks with her thumb.
“It’s me and mother. And the innocent animals that died by your hands.”
That moment when Illina made her hold the knife in her hand with a smile. She couldn’t forget. No, she tried not to forget.
Whenever revenge was difficult, she recalled. Your vile smiles living a life without revenge.
And the animals that died by my hands, though involuntarily.
“You shouldn’t cry. You don’t have the right to cry. So don’t cry.”
Rather
“Will you smile viciously?”
Like when you killed young and weak animals for no reason.
[This is the timeline separator]Ruans hesitated to stamp the emperor’s seal on the decree canceling the title of the Lorencia family.
“This doesn’t seem right.”
“What do you mean, Your Majesty?”
“I mean the decree canceling Lorencia’s noble title.”
Ruans felt uncomfortable about canceling the title of Count Pol Heredian bestowed upon Lorencia, no matter how he thought about it.
If he stamped the emperor’s seal on this decree, he had a feeling that something irreversible would happen.
“Do you not trust me?”
“That’s not it.”
“Don’t worry. I will make Lorencia Your Majesty’s concubine.”
“Do you really have a way to make her a concubine?”
“Of course. You must have that monster, Your Majesty.”
Pelena smiled as she took the emperor’s seal that was in Ruans’s hand.
Eventually, the emperor’s seal that ended up in Pelena’s hand was stamped on the decree.
Ruans looked down at the decree stamped with the emperor’s seal.
“If…”
“There are no ifs. Instead of wasting time thinking about useless ifs, go see Lady Monbellionst, no, Concubine Liona.”
As soon as Liona was appointed as a concubine, Ruans confronted the doctor who made his contraceptive tea. The doctor said he had never made such a mistake.
Ruans was on edge at the doctor’s words that the medicine might have been switched.
In other words, it means he could be poisoned at any time. He was anxious every day. He couldn’t trust anyone.
To overcome this anxious heart, the untrustworthy words and gazes of people, and all the rumors trying to slander him, he needs Lorencia who has the power to see the future.
If only his beloved Lorencia is with him, he can prepare for anything that happens.
“Your Majesty Ruans. The Great Saint will visit the palace secretly soon.”
Pelena stroked Ruans’s white cheek and continued speaking.
“The Great Saint is the messenger of Goddess Ella. If she chooses Ruans, the tide of the coming war will change.”
“I need Lorencia’s power more than the Great Saint’s power.”
“If necessary, I’ll make you have it all. Have I ever failed to get what our Emperor said he wanted? I’ll make you have everything. Just trust this mother.”
“No.”
“Don’t worry.”
The corners of Ruans’s mouth awkwardly lifted.
Ruans thought he should meet Liona at least once.
The reason for getting pregnant was annoying, but she was carrying his child in her womb after all.
“Were there many women who died giving birth?”
“What did you say, Your Majesty?”
“Nothing.”
Timur, the assistant following Ruans, heard what Ruans muttered but pretended not to.
Currently, only a few people know the fact that Liona has become a concubine and is pregnant.
Becoming a concubine and getting pregnant should be a cause for great celebration, but for some reason, both the Monbellionst viscounty family and Ruans remained quietly silent.
Timur did not wonder about anything and just silently did what he had to do.
Because that’s one of the things he should do.
Ruans arrived at the Empress Dowager’s palace. The chief court lady managing the palace guided Ruans to the room where Liona was staying.
“Liona.”
“Your Majesty.”
“Don’t get up.”
“Your Majesty. Thank you for visiting.”
“Your complexion is not very good.”
Liona hoped it wasn’t true when she suddenly learned that Ruans was coming to her.
Would she be able to keep up her lie well? No matter how she thought about it, it was a reckless lie.
The longer the lie continues, the longer the tail to be stepped on becomes.
“I keep falling asleep, perhaps because it’s early in the pregnancy.”
“I see.”
A moment of silence passed.
“I’ve always drunk contraceptive tea. Even on that first night when I slept with you at Lady Liona’s request, I drank contraceptive tea to prevent pregnancy.”
Liona’s face turned pale white.
“So I can never trust you, Liona.”
“Your Majesty.”
“The doctor might have made a mistake. And now that I think about it, it wasn’t the doctor’s mistake.”
“What?”
“I think sleeping with you, Liona, was the mistake.”
Liona’s face turned pale white. Ruans spoke words that hurt her without hesitation and calmly.
“I won’t come to visit like this anymore.”
“Are you saying you won’t see me even after the child is born?”
“I’ll see the child, but should I see someone I can’t trust? That’s all I have to say.”
Liona, looking at the place where Ruans had left, shed tears drop by drop. It was like a nightmare. A nightmare that wouldn’t end.
[This is the timeline separator]Lorencia glanced at the trembling Illina and wrote her name on the decree placed on the table.
Then she took out the seal of the Count Pol Heredian family and stamped it over the four characters of Lorencia.
“Illina. Look. It didn’t disappear, right? This confirms that the seal I have is really the seal of the Pol Heredian family, right?”
“Yes.”
The corners of Lorencia’s mouth lifted.
Finally, the tiresome connection with Pol Heredian was cut off.
Before Lorencia got up from her seat, packing up the decree, she handed over the family seal and Brant’s will to Illina.
“What you want.”
“What I want?”
“Yes. Don’t tell me you still have lingering attachment to the position of empress or concubine of Emperor Ruans?”
Illina couldn’t say anything in response.
“Congratulations on having your noble family title canceled and returning to your original commoner status. So show me respect. Lorencia.”
“Respect?”
At that moment.
Illina’s eyes met with Leanid’s, who was opening the door and pushing in a trolley.
“Sir Leanid.”
Illina approached Leanid, who was pushing in the trolley. She expected him to look at her kindly.
But Leanid frowned and glanced at Illina who approached him, then passed right by her and went straight to Lorencia.
“Lorencia. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“No, I’m not.”
“I brought cocoa that Lorencia likes.”
“Thank you, elder brother. But I want to drink the cocoa somewhere else.”
“If that’s what Lorencia wants, let’s do that.”
“Sir Leanid?”
Leanid looked at Illina calling him.
“Sir Leanid. I just told you what kind of person Lorencia is, so why are you getting close to her?”
Leanid sighed noticeably.
“It would be better if you don’t say anything more that damages our Lorencia’s honor, Lady Illina.”
“She stole our family’s seal. As evidence, the decree stamped with the emperor’s seal is intact. Look at this.”
Illina started saying only what she wanted to say. Leanid didn’t want to listen to her words.
“I clearly said not to say anything that damages Lorencia’s honor, but…”
“Do you think that dirty bastard, no, commoner, has any honor to be tarnished?”
Illina continued to show the decree to Leanid while speaking.
“Lorencia, who was the daughter of Count Pol Heredian, has now had her family title canceled. She’s a commoner.”
“Illina. You’d better stop talking now.”
“Commoners shouldn’t interrupt nobles’ conversations.”
“That’s not it.”
“Ah, you said you found your real family, right? The real family that will sell you to the Spencer viscounty and pocket the money.”
“Illina… It would be better not to say anything more you’ll regret.”
“Regret? I regret not killing you, who pretended to be an illegitimate child and parasitized our family when you weren’t even of our family’s bloodline.”
Lorencia glanced at Leanid. His expression was not good.
“Lady Illina. Did you really mean it when you said Lorencia’s real family is selling her to the Spencer viscounty?”
“Lorencia’s mother was abandoned by a man and parasitized our family while pregnant. And now she’s met her real family? Since Spencer viscount likes that monster, they probably accepted her as family with the purpose of receiving a dowry.”
“Do you really think so? Lady Illina.”
“Sir Leanid, you’re being deceived by that monster right now.”
Illina complained to Leanid out of frustration. But the more she complained, the more his eyes seemed to be emptied of emotion. And very coldly at that.
“Anyway, yes.”
“Have you said everything you wanted to say? Lady Illina.”
“For now, yes.”
Illina strangely felt like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.
“Lorencia.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll ask you to introduce me to Lady Illina.”
“Understood, elder brother.”
“Elder brother?”
As Illina’s eyes met Leanid’s, she suddenly felt chills all over her body at his cold gaze.
“Let me introduce you. This is my elder brother Leanid of the Di Glosten family.”
Illina tried her best to understand Lorencia’s statement calling him elder brother.
But all that came to mind was the thought, ‘Surely it can’t be.’
She prayed that her bad premonition would be wrong.
“Have you already forgotten? I told you I found my real family. Unlike you, elder brother Leanid is my real family who shares blood with me.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
